Colorful Japanese woodblock print. A man in traditional Japanese clothing stands on a stage, holding a fan. He wears a robe with red, white, and blue stripes and floral designs. The man has black hair and is barefoot. To his right is a small table with an intricate design. Above him, a man in a gold and brown outfit flies through the air, surrounded by red lightning bolts and gold rings. The background is gray with black clouds at the top. Japanese characters are written vertically on either side of the standing man. A yellow square with a blue design is in the bottom-left corner.
